My dad enlisted in 1941 with the Regiment de Chateauguay, Farnham, Quebec. I believe that he transferred to the FMR just before he sailed to UK on 29-9-42.

Hi Dianne;

If your father was with Le Regiment de Chateauguay (Mit.) in 1941, he was a member of the Reserve Army up until Le Regiment de Chateauguay (Mit.) were mobilized for 'Active Service' in March, 1942. Being that Le Regiment de Chateauguay (Mit.) were mobilized on a 'Home War Establishment' footing (ie: the defence of Canada within her borders), he probably volunteered for 'Overseas Service' (sometime after Mar 42) which led to him departing Canada on 29 Sep 42 for the UK.

Also, from your earlier post:

Can you post what is entered on his Record of Service from the time he arrived back in the UK until he departed for Canada (in 1945)

Cheers
